In this 10th-anniversary edition of Shonda Rhimes' poignant, hilarious and confessional call-to-arms, Hollywood's most powerful woman - executive producer of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte and more- revisits her galvanizing New York Times bestseller and reveals the continuing power that saying YES has had on her life, and how it can change yours too. With three hit shows on television and three children at home, Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say no when invitations arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No. And to an introvert like Shonda, who describes herself as 'hugging the walls' at social events and experiencing panic attacks before press interviews, there was a particular benefit to saying no: nothing new to fear. Then came Thanksgiving 2013, when Shonda's sister Delorse muttered six little words at her: You never say yes to anything. Profound, impassioned and laugh-out-loud funny, in Year of YesShonda Rhimes reveals how saying YES changed - and saved - her life. And inspires readers everywhere to change their own lives with one little word: Yes.In this celebratory and expanded anniversary edition, you'll find more wildly candid and transformational chapters that reveal how the mega-talented Shonda, once a self-described introvert, achieved badassery worthy of a Shondaland character - and how you can, too. In Shonda's own words, 'This book is the same as before, but it also is not. It is brand-new. It has changed. Transformed. Evolved. Grown. Just like me.'

A stunning and life-affirming account of the power of the human spirit, and the potential for hope even in the darkest times.<BR><BR>"For me, this is not a choice.

But I don't care what the odds might be; I'll keep defying them for as long as I can keep fighting and living."

Eine fotografische Hommage an das französische ChansonWie die Mode und der Wein gehört das Chanson zu den nationalen Heiligtümern Frankreichs, kaum eine andere musikalische Disziplin ist so verbunden mit der Kultur und dem Wesen eines Landes. Liebe und Revolution, Nostalgie und Heimat, der Spott auf die Bourgeoisie und immer wieder Paris - so in etwa lassen sich die Leitmotive des französischen Chansons zusammenfassen. Große Dichter und Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts wie Jacques Prévert, Louis Aragon und Jean-Paul Sartre lieferten die Texte für Chansons, welche dann von Ikonen wie Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Barbara, Jacques Brel und Serge Gainsbourg interpretiert wurden. Ihr Erbe wird heute von Größen wie ZAZ oder Benjamin Biolay lebendig gehalten und in die Zukunft getragen. Bebildert mit stimmungsvollen Fotografien, unter anderem von Robert Doisneau, taucht dieses Buch ein in die Geschichte einer der sinnlichsten und poetischsten Musiken der Welt. Eine fotografische Hommage an Frankreichs lyrischste, romantischste und poetischste Musiktradition!

È tempo di presepe anche a casa di Linus, il più famoso deejay d'Italia. Ma non è un Natale come tanti altri. È un Natale speciale. Gli ascoltatori di Radio Deejay troveranno sotto l'albero una clamorosa sorpresa: Linus si ritira. Spegne il microfono. Basta con "Deejay chiama Italia", basta con la dolce galera della quotidiana. Non l'ha detto ancora a nessuno, tranne che a sua moglie Carlotta e ai grandi capi dei piani alti. Ma la decisione è presa ed è di quelle da cui non si può tornare indietro. In quel giorno di svolta, mentre si sottopone alla sua routine mattutina gli tornano in mente sessant'anni di vita vissuta (quasi) sempre con un microfono a pochi centimetri dalla bocca. La sua infanzia nella provincia milanese, il disinteresse per la scuola, l'amore per le ragazze e quello ancora più totalizzante per la musica. Le prime esperienze nelle radio improvvisate che all'epoca nascevano come funghi e poi il grande balzo con Radio Deejay, la radio più radio d'Italia grazie alla sua direzione innovativa. Fino a oggi, giorno in cui ha deciso di rompere lo schema che regola e dà ritmo alla sua esistenza. Fino a quando è la storia che finalmente fa collimare Linus con Pasquale di Molfetta per ciò che sono, due facce della stessa medaglia. La storia di un ragazzo bravo e fortunato, consapevole da subito che tutto, anche la carriera di maggior successo, può finire improvvisamente e per un nonnulla. La storia di una persona che vive cavalcando gioiosa la sua onda, ma sempre fino alla prossima spiaggia. Una storia di talento e tenacia cominciata in un pomeriggio degli anni Settanta e arrivata, onda dopo onda, fino a oggi.

This is the catchphrase used often when announcing who I was on the radio. For example, "Hi, this is Lar'-on-the-Air, Larry McKay, sittin' in my chair, with all this hair. And how are you out there?" It's an oft' times humorous journal of my many adventures over my career, encountering a surprising number of celebrities readers will recognize. You'll find that I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time--sort of Forrest Gump-like. There are memorable moments with luminaries too numerous to mention here. Several interesting photos will be on display too.

Rock stars and rap gods. Comedy legends and A-list actors. Supermodels and centerfolds. Moguls and mobsters. A president.<BR><BR> Over his unrivaled four-decade career in radio, Howard Stern has interviewed thousands of personalities—discussing sex, relationships, money, fame, spirituality, and success with the boldest of bold-faced names. But which interviews are his favorites? It’s one of the questions he gets asked most frequently. Howard Stern Comes Again delivers his answer.<BR><BR> This book is a feast of conversation and more, as between the lines Stern offers his definitive autobiography—a magnum opus of confession and personal exploration. Tracy Morgan opens up about his near-fatal car crash. Lady Gaga divulges her history with cocaine. Madonna reminisces on her relationship with Tupac Shakur. Bill Murray waxes philosophical on the purpose of life. Jerry Seinfeld offers a master class on comedy. Harvey Weinstein denies the existence of the so-called casting couch. An impressive array of creative visionaries weigh in on what Stern calls “the climb”—the stories of how they struggled and eventually prevailed. As he writes in the introduction, “If you’re having trouble finding motivation in life and you’re looking for that extra kick in the ass, you will find it in these pages.”<BR><BR> Interspersed throughout are rare selections from the Howard Stern Show archives with Donald Trump that depict his own climb: transforming from Manhattan tabloid fixture to reality TV star to president of the United States. Stern also tells of his Moby Dick-like quest to land an interview with Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the 2016 election—one of many newly written revelations from the author. He speaks with extraordinary candor about a variety of subjects, including his overwhelming insecurity early in his career, his revolutionary move from terrestrial radio to SiriusXM, and his belief in the power of psychotherapy.<BR><BR> As Stern insightfully notes in the introduction: “The interviews collected here represent my best work and show my personal evolution. But they don’t just show my evolution. Gathered together like this, they show the evolution of popular culture over the past quarter century.”

Daniele Bossari ha scritto un libro coraggioso, senza sconti, che esplora i luoghi più oscuri dell'animo. Ma è anche un libro d'amore, per la donna che gli è stata accanto, la figlia e tutte le altre stelle che possono guidarci fuori dal buio. È un paradosso, Daniele. In lui convivono il blues e il rock 'n' roll, il bianco e il nero, il buio e la luce. Grazie alla sua energia esplosiva e alla sua voce suadente ha realizzato da giovanissimo il sogno di lavorare come speaker in radio. Da quel momento è stato un crescendo: dopo la radio è arrivata la televisione, e con essa l'impressione nitida che la sua vita avrebbe potuto risplendere sempre, se solo avesse continuato a essere se stesso. Fino al momento in cui si è interrotta, la sua ascesa sembrava inarrestabile. Di fronte alle prime critiche, alle prime prese in giro, ai primi rifiuti, Daniele, improvvisamente indifeso, si è trovato a fare i conti con la faccia nascosta della sua luce: l'insicurezza, la fragilità di chi si sente nudo di fronte al mondo eppure a quel mondo vorrebbe andare incontro, il terrore di non essere all'altezza del palcoscenico che si era guadagnato, il timore di non riuscire a incanalare le proprie energie in modo positivo, ma solo per diventare la versione peggiore di sé ¿ un uomo che vive nel totale isolamento, bottiglia di whisky alla mano, preda di quella che comunemente si chiama depressione. «Non credevo di riuscire a tornare alla vita. Poi mi sono schiantato sul fondo del mio personalissimo abisso e sono andato in pezzi. Solo allora mi sono accorto che alcuni di quei pezzi erano schegge di luce: l'amore per mia figlia, l'unione profonda con mia moglie, la sacralità della mia famiglia; gli alberi che frascheggiano al vento, la sensazione del sole sulla pelle, i fiori nel nostro giardino».

'I was spotty, wore an anorak, had biro-engraved flared blue jeans with "purple" and "Sabbath" written on the thighs, and rode an ear-splittingly uncool moped. Oh yes, and I wanted to be a drummer...'Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden's legendary front man - is one of the world's most iconic singers and songwriters.
